Due to a mudslide from strong thunderstorms in the Owens Valley, Caltrans has closed 395 3 miles north of Coso Junction near the deserted homestead of Dumovin.

I'm headed up to Mammoth on Saturday morning (hopefully) for some cold and windy day hiking prior to heading into the backcountry on Tuesday. Ironically I was talking with a very nice woman at the Inyo County road department checking on conditions this morning when she said a bolt of lightning hit very near their building in Independence and knocked the power out. Looks like crazy weather for the weekend.
